Maybe this will help:
" It boils at minus 129 degrees F, and at 565 degrees F the molecules split into the two component gases; nitrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is then free to aid combustion, although it is non-flammable in itself, while the nitrogen acts as a damper to prevent detonation."

Bottle heaters are nice but they can be skipped if your bottle stays above 60 degrees. They do tend to make bottles last a bit longer because when the bottle gets low the heater keeps the pressure up. YOU NEED A PRESSURE GAUGE! Some people say they are an option but they are not. To tune any nitrous system you need to know the bottle pressure. Plus on hot days you need to know how high the pressure is because you can run the engine way too lean.
